An easy way of obtaining valuable radio instruments has been discovered by a gentleman in Berlin who has already spent several years in gaol. He walked into a Berlin broadcasting station at a very early hour in the morning, before any officials had arrived, and ordered the charwomen about so that they thought he was an official.
